Top hotels in Motomachi
RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima
The check in staff will not accept check in before 3pm. Instead of checking you in but come back later like other hotels do. They dont. When you come back at 3pm, you encounter so many people including group check ins. Which is just a waste of time.the lobby is nice but bathrooms are old stuff.
